Ingredients

• 1 large Cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 4 slices Bacon slices
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets, then sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until well coated.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned, turning halfway through the cooking time.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to an ovenproof serving dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cauliflower.

Step 9

Place the dish back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and top the cauliflower with crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream in the center, and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

Step 11

Serve immediately for a delicious keto-friendly alternative to a baked potato.
